    I think Hurley & Libby together pushed me over the edge last night.

    I also liked Jack having a son, and Claire having a chance with Aaron, Sayid having a chance with Nadia.

    Of course, this is assuming the writers don't come in and destroy all of that, which would be just like them :lol:

    - Did island-Desmond never realize that Locke wasn't really Locke? I'm guessing he didn't :)
    My guess is that he knows but he's just going along with UnLocke until he can do whatever it is that "knows what has to do." He was so passive, going willingly with ZombieSayid, allowing himself to be tied up, going for a walk with UnLocke, letting himself get tossed in the well. BTW where's Lassie when you need her? :mrgreen:

    - When the island version dies, the alternate survives - and alternate-Desmond seemed to know what had happened to island-Desmond.... I wonder how? And if this is unique to Desmond ? Locke and Charlie don't seem to have had visions about their alternate's deaths, but maybe they eventually will...
    I don't think Desmond is dead. He seems to be much too important to be bumped off so easily. Besides, Widmore said he'd have to make a sacrifice. Seems like he's made enough of those already but I don't think he's "formally" made one since he got back to the island.

    Desmond's not dead, he's just stuck in the well waiting for Lassie to get the sherriff.

    He's definitely alive. The preview for the next episode showed him alive at the bottom of the well.

    Oh, OK. They don't show previews for the next episode on Hulu. I thought the reason they had him drop the torch into the well was to show it'd be unsurvivable.

    Me too... At first I thought maybe it led to the donkey wheel or something, but then I heard the splash. I guess maybe because it was dark you couldnt see it, because in the preview Sayid is looking down at Desmond and he doesnt seem THAT far down.

    It also looked to me that Sayid shot Desmond while down in the well on the preview.

    Yeah, but they wouldn't show it if he really shot him, right? :o

    I'm hoping Sayid is sent to finish Desmond off but can't do it which would also mean he's not 100% gone yet...

    Yeah, Sayid has been one of my favorites since the start, I don't like him all Zombie like. :?

    Same here. I liked him from the beginning. Remember him chatting with Hurley about the Gulf War? ("I was in the Republican Guard." :shock: ) Never quite got the thing with Shannon, although I guess a guy's options are limited on a desert island. :P

    But he's so creepy and awful now. I don't know how to feel about him. :problem: :think:

    Speaking of Shannon, will that bitch make a return or did she end up on the island by freak accident?

    After the premier of the season Damon&Carlton said they wanted Shannon on the plane w/ Boone but she was already doing something else so they hoped to get her in somewhere but didnt know if they would or what capacity they would... so I guess they might have missed the boat on using her? Or maybe she'll be one of the 'cutesy' alt-reality things they are doing with the 'non-main' characters.

    *hand raised*

    Although unfortunate for Desmond, it couldn't have been more obvious that #the man in black/Locke# was going to do it.

    The thing that will really get you going is: Why did Desmond let him do it? I'm pretty sure Desmond knew he was going to get thrown in there.

    Way I figure is Desmond, Widmore, Jacob, the Man in Black, and Eloise are the only ones who have a view of the big picture right now.


    do ya think benjamin will save locke in the sideways world?

    i laughed out loud when it showed desmond racing away :lol: they should've had some spy music soundtrack

    Just about the time I was starting to warm up to Ilana she blows herself up!

    I guess she seemed peripheral to me until the point where she forgave Ben. I was starting to look forward to her back story. Although maybe we'll still get it.
    I didn't know if she'd make it till the end but I thought she'd have a fairly significant part to play. Killing her off so unexpectedly kind of brought me back to that good old Lost feeling of WOAH.

    yea i liked that.

    Um, no, because the quote of mine you reference mentions part of the show I liked. It really amazes me how you people feel so threatened by anything negative said about this show. If you watched the show objectively and didn't try to justify it to yourselves you would see how far it has fallen or at the very least be able to take it when someone says they didn't like an episode.

    Uh oh....."you people" has been invoked. :?
    In all seriousness, I feel that this conversation is not going to go anywhere just because at the core of it is the fact that some people just watch TV/films differently. Some people enjoy criticizing the things they watch (this is not a dig at you) and enjoy debating the relative merits of a piece even if they speak harshly about it. Other people just enjoy being able to take in a TV show/film as it is presented and enjoy a bit of escapism, and while they discuss the piece, they may be more apt to simply enjoy it for what it is. This divide becomes particularly evident with cult TV shows such as Lost, or The Wire for example. People become fiercely devoted to the show and can become apologists of a sort, fighting for "their show" when dissenting opinions are raised. I think long running cult series just become a treasured piece of art for some people, it is just impossible to look at things objectively, as you say. In fact, you can't view anything objectively by nature of the media/viewing experience. So anyway, that's my two cents.
    I completely respect your right to voice complaints or fears about the direction of the show. But when it becomes antagonistic and contrarian, it makes it quite difficult to take.

    at the end of a roller coaster, there are no more big drops or wicked turns.....you just coast in level to the platform and say "damn that was a good ride". if you think of it like that, and if they have the biggest freefall of the ride at the end, what is that going to accomplish?..besides just people wanting more and feeling sad at the end that its over. there will be no book, no movie, so the train is pulling into the station and the ride is coming to an end.
